Diffusion of starch and iodine across membrane a. Did the iodine molecules diffuse across the membrane? Yes or No? ____ b. What results support your conclusion? c. Explain why iodine diffused or did not diffuse based on difference in concentration of iodine, size of iodine molecules and permeability of tubing membrane. 2. a.

Step 1
- Assume you have a setup where a membrane separates two solutions: one containing iodine and the other containing starch. - Observe any color changes in the solutions, which indicate the presence of iodine or starch. Show more…

Which of the following is true about starch and iodine diffusion? Starch was not able to diffuse through the membrane of the dialysis bag because it is positively charged. Iodine was able to diffuse through the membrane of the dialysis bag because it is negatively charged. Starch and iodine were both not able to diffuse through the membrane of the dialysis bag because they are very large molecules. Starch was not able to diffuse through the membrane of the dialysis bag because it is a very large polymer. Iodine was able to diffuse through the membrane of the dialysis bag because it is a small molecule. Starch and iodine switched places in the experiment because they both moved down their concentration gradients.

Part 2: Diffusion Across a Non-Living Membrane Use the illustrations of a different experiment shown below to answer the questions that follow: Note that the dialysis bag is selectively permeable to water and iodine (IKI), but not to starch. Beaker Water & IKI solution Selective permeable dialysis bag Closer look Water and starch solution Selectively permeable Membrane Starch 1. The net movement of iodine molecules is ________ (pick one: into the bag, into the beaker, in both directions, in neither direction). 2. The net movement of starch is ________ (pick one: into the bag, into the beaker, in both directions, in neither direction). 3. The net movement of water is ________ (pick one: into the bag, into the beaker, in both directions, in neither direction).

A student is trying to determine the type of membrane transport occurring in a cell. She finds that the molecule to be transported is very large and polar, and when transported across the membrane, no energy is required. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism of transport? (A) Active transport (B) Simple diffusion (C) Facilitated diffusion (D) Exocytosis
